GCC cracks down on rate defaulters

According to GCC Town Clerk, Daniel Katjinotjiwa, the council resorted to the courts after it became clear that some individuals and companies had no intention of settling their debts. “As a result, 12 people have been served with court papers and given 14 days to make payment,” Katjinotjiwa confirmed in an interview on Thursday.

This legal route, he noted, is aimed at holding defaulters accountable while also sending a strong message to others with outstanding balances.
